Quick Start ePermit directions

TIPPS is now inactive. CUNY has made the transfer information feature available through the CUNY Portal via an updated CUNYfirst Course Catalog. This feature allows CUNY and non-CUNY students/faculty/staff to view the benefits of TIPPS with an updated and integrated system.

Here is how you can locate the new course equivalent feature:

From the menu at the top of this page (or go directly to http://www2.cuny.edu/ and skip to #3) click on Login

click CUNY Portal

No need to log in. At the top of the login page, hover over the “Academics” tab & Click “Academic Programs”

At the bottom left of this page, choose Course Catalog (appears in a shaded box) Note: If already logged into CUNYfirst you may have to repeat #3 & 4.

Select your home CUNY Institution at the top of the page & click “change”

Choose your subject, followed by the specific course

This new page will give you information on the specific course. To the right, choose “fetch equivalent CUNY courses”

Here it will tell you if there is a match at a partner CUNY campus

If the course is scheduled, you will be able to “view class sections” by clicking that green button to the right of the class – Be sure to select the correct term offered.

The information is listed including days, times, professor, etc.
